▼ SENTENCING

Beating fatality puts Hells Angels pair behind bars Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Two full-patch members of the Hells Angels were sentenced Wednesday to 15 years in prison for fatally beating a Kelowna man.

Norman Cocks and Robert Thomas, part of what local media once dubbed the Rutland 7, were sentenced to 15 years, less time served, for the fatal beating of Dain Phillips. They’ve been in custody since mid-2011, so their remaining time behind bars should amount to just over 12 years.

Cocks, 33, and Thomas, 49, were originally charged with second-degree murder for the June 12, 2011, attack on Phillips, but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge last week.

At the time of their arrest, the two men were the first full patch-wearing Hells Angels charged with murder in the biker club’s history in B.C. Even with a guilty plea to a lesser charge, they’re still forging dubious new ground for the biker gang, while offering new hope to law enforcement groups.

“Previous investigations and convictions have made it clear that members of the Hells Angels are involved in drugs, weapons, and violence-related offences,” said Chief Superintendent Dan Malo, chief officer for the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia.

“Through a co-ordinated and unified effort, CFSEU-BC and its partner agencies will continue to disrupt organized crime groups like the Hells Angels and eliminate their continued threat to public safety.”

The Phillips family were in court Wednesday, and offered a victim impact statement that spoke to the character of Phillips, a man who was previously described as a gentle giant.

It was a characterization that made his final moments all the more shocking.

Police have previously alleged that Phillips set up a meeting so both parties could discuss and work out their differences and put an end to threats that had been escalating in the weeks before.

Kidney donor gives dialysis patient hope Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

A social media campaign to find a kidney donor is offering a West Kelowna woman new hope for a healthy future and an unexpected surge of support.

Diabetes landed Leona Go-

din, 42, on dialysis for the better part of eight years, and the organ donation list for the last six of those years.

“It’s been hard to find a kidney, due to high antibodies, and a rarer blood type,” she said, noting that her blood type is B-positive, which only four in 100 people

Frustrated, her partner Rick Moodie took matters into his own hands, and tapped into their online community for a solution.

“He wakes up first thing in the morning and goes on Facebook and then when he comes back from work, he’s on there until 11

p.m.,” Godin said. “He’s just an amazing person.”

As he scrolls through the page they’ve named Leona Kidney, he finds everything from well wishes to people who have a will to help.

City Hall adds media story fact watchdog to website Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna City Hall is now taking its message directly to the public when it feels information reported in the media is wrong.

While city spokesman Tom Wilson said the city will still address any concerns it has with the media outlet involved, it has set up a new “For The Record” page on its website to make the corrections itself.

He said the webpage will “set the record straight by providing factual information directly to (the public).”

And the page already has its first entry, the correction of four facts included in a recent guest column by Soloman Rayek questioning city spending that was published Jan. 29

in the Daily Courier.

But despite Wilson, the former managing editor of the Daily Courier, saying the City Hall’s “first choice” is for the media outlet involved to make a correction, both Rayek and current Daily Courier managing editor Jon Manchester said no request had been made concerning Rayek’s most recent column.

“I have had letters from city staff in the past about things I’ve written in an editorial, or something (reporter/columnist Ron) Seymour has written or letters to the editor, but nothing about this,” said Manchester.

Rayek said he had not been contacted by the city either and he stands by what he wrote.

The corrections include the cost of the Bernard Avenue revitaliza-

tion work, ($14 million, not $16 million stated in the column), the cost of the city park washrooms ($500,000 not $1 million as stated in the column) and the unemployment rate in Kelowna in December (7.2 per cent not 17.3 per cent as stated in the column).

The city’s “correction” also said the $5 million cost of the new downtown public pier was paid for by a private company, not taxpayers. In his column, Rayek did not say who paid for the pier.

Neither Manchester not Rayek said they knew about the city’s new For The Record page before being told about it by the Capital News.

But Rayek added that given the fact this year is an election year, he was not surprised the city has taken this tack.

Wilson said with the number of subscribers to its e-subscribe information service, now at nearly 2,000 and growing, increased use of social media by the city to get its messages out (its number of Twitter followers grew to 8,697 last year, a 47 per cent increase, the number of people who like the city on Facebook jumped 49 per cent last year to 1,233), a seven per cent increase in the number of people going to its website and a whopping 82 per cent increase in the number of people accessing the city’s website from mobile devices, the city feels it can get corrected information out faster on its own site than simply relying on the media to publish or broadcast corrections.

“We also want to portray information as we see it,” said Wilson, add-

ing in the past there has been a lot of incorrect information—mainly of a “minor” type—reported in the local media that the city has not sought corrections for.

Kelowna has modelled its For The Record page on those being used by municipalities elsewhere, one in particular being Boulder, Col., he said.

Wilson said in addition to correcting facts, it is hoped the page will also help mediate ongoing debates about city projects and spending.

The city is also considering linking information about city projects to the For The Record page so readers can see if the city feels past information reported about the project was wrong. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Mayor says symphony should get more municipal support Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

The City of Kelowna says it’s happy to give the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra a grant of $55,000 but Mayor Walter Gray wants to know why other valley municipalities are not doing the same.

Earlier this week, city council agreed to give the OSO the annual operating grant, along with $25,000 for the Alternator Centre For Contemporary Arts.

But Gray asked city staff how much support the OSO gets from other Okanagan municipalities. He said considering the orchestra carries the Okanagan’s name in its title, the orchestra really represents the valley and performs throughout the southern Interior.

Sandra Kochan, Kelowna’s cultural services manager, said the Regional District of North Okanagan and the City of Penticton give the OSO a combined annual grant of $19,000. She said Kelowna’s grant accounts for about five per cent of the OSO’s annual operating budget.

That had Gray wondering aloud why West Kelowna, Lake Country and Peachland don’t contribute, considering their residents are, in his words, “less than half an hour’s drive away from a symphony concert.” He urged the OSO to press for more financial support from other municipalities in the valley in future.

This year’s professional arts operating grants from the city for the orchestra and the Alternator are at the same level as the ones awarded in 2013, said Kochan.

One other professional arts group re-

ceived money last year—Ballet Kelowna.

It is expected to get the same amount this year that it received last year, $30,000, but city staff are holding off recommending to council the grant be awarded until they receive more information about the dance company’s financial position.

Last year, after announcing it would shut down because of a lack of money, an outpouring of community support helped the ballet company rise from the financial ashes. Kochan said its financial projections for this year appear good.

Kochan said she plans to bring a recommendation about the proposed 2014 grant for Ballet Kelowna back to council in a few weeks.

Meanwhile, the city also awarded more than $150,000 to a number of non-professional organizations for both operating and projects.

With $175,000 available, the city received only 17 operating grant applications this year, down from the 22 received last year. On the project side, 10 applications were received for this year, down from 13 last year. Fifteen groups received a total of $102,300 for operating, while all 10 received a total of $51,550 for projects. Of the 10 project grants, seven received 100 per cent of the money asked for, while three received only 70 per cent.

The Central Okanagan Foundation handles the vetting of grant applications for the city and recommends how much each should get based on criteria set out by the city.

TEACHING TOOL…A pair of UBC Okanagan School of Nursing students are taking what they

have learned to help educate nurses in Africa. Inspired by the saying “give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he’ll eat for life,” Darien Miyata and Caitlan Stephens have set out to empower others through education—with hopes to improve the lives of people around the globe. The project began last year, when a group of fourth-year students created a nursing assessment handbook and during their final practicums in Ghana and Zambia gave copies to African nurses. Often, these nurses had only their own hand-written class notes to use as references and Stephens says the handbook created by the UBC students was eagerly received and became a precious resource to the African nurses. When it came time for Stephens and Miyata to choose a fourth-year project, revising the handbook filled an obvious need, says Stephens.

“We heard how excited the nurses were to get these handbooks, and the difference it made, so we decided to continue that legacy.” However, this year the project is going to look a bit different. When a contingent of nursing students, including Miyata and Stephens, head to Africa this spring, they will take more than 100 updated handbooks, plus a collection of interactive learning activities and visual aids to help consolidate the material. The hope is to have a fun-filled day of knowledge sharing between students and the nurses of Ghana and Zambia. The Nursing Assessment Skills and Intervention handbook, printed for free by Kelowna Instaprint, has the potential to change the lives of thousands, says Miyata. “It’s said that knowledge is power, so let’s spread it far and wide.”

“Quick action by the suppression personnel confined the fire to the garage area of the complex. One male was treated by BCAS for burns and transported to KGH.” Fire crews turned the scene over to a Kelowna Fire Department Investi-

New kidney will Guilty plea to lesser charge still leads to jail time change mom’s life Fatality from A1

That plan went off course when, en route to the meeting, Phillips’ car crossed paths with two other vehicles and a decision was made to pull over at the vacant intersection.

The six-foot-three man then allegedly exited his car and faced a torrent of blows from bats, hammers and other weapons

Hope from A1 “The response has been amazing,” she said.

“I didn’t expect it. It’s almost overwhelming right now.”

At least two people who came to know of Godin’s situation are embarking on the lengthy process to see if they’ll be a compatible donor, while many others are just offering stories that make the load she’s carrying easier to bear.

“You hear their stories, and they’re saying they’ve done the same thing, and it makes you think, if (finding a donor online) happened for them, maybe it can happen for you, too,” she said.

A new kidney would change everything for Godin.

A mother of three, and grandmother to two, Godin has been very limited in what she’s been able to do in recent years.

She walks and exercises every day, to try and stay as healthy as she can for transplant, but she also has to fit dialysis into that schedule every second day and that limits her movements.

“If you want to go anywhere, you have to plan a couple months at a time,” she explained.

Not all dialysis clinics will take out-of-area clients, and it takes a lot of legwork to find a slot.

Dain Phillips

that police have chosen not to disclose.

With the 51-year-old on the ground, suffering from his injuries, his alleged assailants then piled back into the two cars they had arrived in.

Phillips was transported to Kelowna General Hospital and died the next day as a result of his injuries, with his wife and family at his side.

More details about

those final moments are coming to light as the trial for the remaining four involved plays out in a Vancouver courtroom.

Cocks’s father Robert, Daniel and Matt McRae and Anson Schell are in the first week of their court proceedings.

Charges against Thomas Vaughan, were stayed. kmichaels @kelownacapnews.com

Leona Godin That said, travel wouldn’t be the first thing she’d take up if she were again to reach full health.

“I would have a big glass of water,” she said.

Godin is only able to ingest a maximum of 1.5 litres of fluid per day, and she has also has to factor in all liquid-carrying foods into that equation.

She also has to be vigilant about the foods she eats, as too much of anything could have disastrous effects.

“It’s a full-time job,” she said.

One she’ll continue for some time as she waits to see if her saviour is waiting on her Facebook feed.

Anyone in good health and interested in donating are urged to contact B.C. Transplant at, 1-604-8755182 and ask for a package to donate to Leona Godin.

LADY OF THE LAKE…The 11 candidates vying for the title of Miss Kelowna Lady of the Lake were the special guests of the pageant Sponsor Night festivities on Feb. 2, hosted by the Sandlewood Retirement Resort. Each candidate received a rose and banner from their respective sponsors. The contestants are (from left) Bella Thomson, Kaitlyn Anutooshkin, Stephanie Dahle, Grace Callahan, Brooke Mapstone, Miranda Belliveau, Stephanie Coombs, Briana Mesenbrink, Melissa Curatolo, Karlene Meier and Aysha Bedard.

Recycling regulation change applauded An amendment to recycling regulations by the province is being welcomed as good news for the business community by the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce.

“This is a huge relief to our local business community,” said Caroline Grover, CEO of the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce.

“This change exempts the majority of our local businesses, including all of our mom and pop shops, from new costs and red tape.”

The regulation targets packaging and printed paper and is slated to go into force in May. The B.C. government has announced that it will enshrine in regulation an exemption for any B.C. business that meets any of the following criteria: • annual revenues of less than $1 million • less than one tonne of packaging and printed paper produced annually and/or • a single point of retail sale (and not supplied by or operated as part of a

franchise, chain or under a banner).

That means that less than 3,000 businesses in the province will be captured by the regulation, out of more than 385,000.

Grover noted the Kelowna Chamber supports the principle of extended producer responsibility, but such regulations need to be implemented carefully to avoid unintended consequences.

“This exemption correctly balances environmental goals with business needs,” Grover said.

“We applaud the B.C. government for responding to businesses’ concerns and limiting the scope of the program, appropriately, to B.C.’s largest PPP producers.”

The Chamber network throughout B.C. raised the alarm about the regulation last summer after businesses across the province were contacted about coming new obligations and fees by Multi Material BC, the agency charged with producing a stewardship plan under the regulation.

Free health assessment for seniors

The Okanagan YMCA is working to maintain the health and independence of local seniors.

Seniors have several program options at the YMCA to keep them healthy and active, with a great place to get started being the Seniors Health Assessment initiative.

This assessment is offered for free by the YMCA about three times a year, with the next session to take place Feb. 21, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Kelowna Family Y,, 375 Hartman Rd. in Rutland.

The Seniors Health Assessment is about 30 to 60 minutes in duration per person and includes a series of tests to assess your blood pressure, cardio-vascular endurance, blood glucose levels, flexibility, estrength agility and more.

“In 2008, I had my

right hip socket replaced which is a major surgery,” said Brenda Clarke.

“This was followed by a series of replacements due to painful arthritis— my left hip in 2009; my right knee in 2010 and my left knee and meniscus in 2011.”

Many aging adults can relate to Brenda’s health history and are facing similar outcomes each day.

Strength, physical fitness and quality of life often decrease with age, but starting with an assessment, regular activity and a strong support system by YMCA staff, future chronic pain and health disease may be prevented.

“Between my many surgeries, my doctor encouraged me to walk in the water to improve muscle movement which

Married Life Can Be a reaL GeM This year, my wife Deni and I are celebrating our 30th Wedding Anniversary. It’s a milestone we both cherish. As you know, there are gems and precious metals associated with certain wedding anniversaries. The 25th Wedding Anniversary is referred to as the “Silver Anniversary” and the 50th Wedding Anniversary is referred to the “Golden Anniversary.” There is also a gem associated with the 30th Wedding Anniversary. Most websites I have visited declare that gem to be either the pearl (traditional) or the diamond (modern). I prefer the traditional gem, the pearl. I had an epiphany when I thought of the pearl in the context of marriage. I want to share it with you.

church during our married life.

For 30 years we have experienced good times, the “for better.” We had successes and experienced personal and professional growth.

We sowed seeds which grew and we enjoyed a harvest. We also experienced bad times, the “for worse.” We experienced failures and losses.

We had enjoyed good health; however, sickness entered into the picture. There were times of plenty and times we had less. Just like the layers of nacre produced by an oyster wrap around the piece of rock or sand to form a pearl, our years together, their successes, failures, wealth, poverty, sickness, and health, formed layers around our vows and created something wonderful.

The pearl is unique in the world of gems. It is not found embedded in rock. A pearl is made by a living creature who calls the ocean home.

It takes time for the pearl to be formed. It is made of layer upon layer of nacre, a gelatinous substance secreted by an oyster that hardens.

At the center of the pearl is an irritant that the nacre surrounds. The oyster adds nacre in small increments, day after day and year after year, until a beautiful pearl emerges.

God designed married life to be a real gem, a pearl that can get better and more beautiful with each year. Sadly the reality is that, because of life’s challenges and the fault of the husband and the wife, that gem can lose its shine. At times that pearl of great worth is found in danger of destruction because the vows at the center are broken, or the couple simply drifts apart and falls out of love.

I came to see my marriage in the pearl. Like a pearl, marriage has a core. At the core of a marriage are the vows exchanged by the bride and the groom. Deni and I made these vows to one another. I said: “I take you to be my wife.”

She said: “I take you to be my husband.” We both said: “to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, as long as we both shall live, and I pledge you my faithfulness.”

The Old and New Testaments of the Holy Bible teach that when these vows are repeated before God, the Lord blesses those vows and binds the couple together in a process which begins then and there, and continues as long as both live.

Jesus said: “But at the beginning of creation God made them male and female. ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.” (Mark 10:6-9) From the moment God joined us together, we began to build a life together. In every day, every week, every month and every year that followed our wedding day, the vows we exchanged took on flesh and shape. First we built a nest together, a place we called home.

The location and shape of our nest changed over the years. Our nest became home for a new life, our son. We are both people who live to work. Deni worked as a speech therapist for our entire 30 years together. I worked as a lawyer for more than 13 of those years and now serve as a pastor. We both served the Lord during our life together. Deni has always been involved in music and worship in the Church. I served in a leadership role of some kind in the

From time to time, Deni and I faced challenges that came from within us and from outside of us; challenges that tested us as a couple.

However God always came to the rescue.

Faith and love always were, still are, and will continue to be, the bonding agents that hold Deni and I together through the ebb and the flow of married life. Faith in and love for God, and faith in and love for one another. When we were tested, when life’s storms hit us and challenged our family, what kept us together was our belief that it was our destiny to be together. We were convinced that God had brought us together and had placed the love we have for one another within us. We believed and trusted that if we held onto God and one another, we could get through the storm that had come into our lives. This faith and trust got us through many a storm.

When our vows were tested from within, when one of us sinned against and wounded the other, God provided for the sin that tore at the bonds that bound us together. God gave us Jesus, His Son. Jesus paid for our sins when He suffered and died on the cross. God gave us the Holy Spirit, the Comforter. When we hurt one another, the Holy Spirit opened the eyes of the offender so that the sin was exposed.

Through the Holy Spirit, we believed that Jesus died on the cross for the sin that challenged our marriage. The Holy Spirit used Christ’s sacrifice to move the offender to contrition, confession and repentance. The Holy Spirit then moved the offender to ask for forgiveness from God, and then the wounded party, for the sins committed. The same Spirit used Christ’s sacrifice to move the one offended to say “I forgive you”, and then soothe the wounded heart. The Spirit continued to work to heal and strengthen our bonds of faith and love in God and one another.

As I look back over the thirty years we have been together, I see that God had taken our “for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health,” and made a pearl out of them. This is how God works in our world.

He takes the good and the bad and makes something beautiful out of it.

In the end, these challenges strengthened the bond of love between us and made our faith, and trust in one another, grow. We came to understand the Apostle Paul’s words: “…We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28) God has opened my eyes so that I can see my dear wife as my pearl of great worth. He has added so many wonderful layers to the bride of my youth. He made her a competent professional woman who loves those she serves in the community as a speech therapist and in the Church. He made her a loving, caring and nurturing mother to our son. She loved, cared for and supported my dear mother as she left this life for eternity. She loves and cares for our extended families in a way I never could.

I thank God for Deni and our thirty years together.

If you are married, I hope and pray that God will open your eyes to the pearls He has given you: your spouse and your marriage together. I pray that God will add layer upon layer to your lives together and will continue to make your marriage a pearl of great value.

If your marriage is troubled, if vows were broken or are in danger of being broken, don’t despair: there is hope. Have faith that God can forgive, heal, and restore. God is waiting, at a Church near you. He wants to reach out to you.

He wants you to reach out to Him. If you are single, I pray that God will bring you and your pearl together and give you the eyes to recognize your future spouse-to-be.

If you have lost your pearl, remember these words: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16). You will be together again.

To God be the glory!

Smooth Senate move by Liberals

L

iberal leader Justin Trudeau took the debate over the Senate to a new level last week, announcing that the 32 members of the Senate who were part of the Liberal caucus would henceforth be independents.

Trudeau, who has been very cautious in coming up with policy moves since becoming party leader last April, was bold and maybe even a bit reckless.

But he has positioned his party very nicely. Anger over the entitlements within the Sen-

ate has grown across Canada, and the governing Conservatives struggle to come up with a consistent position on the upper chamber.

The Liberals, who have been in power most often, have been the party to benefit the most from the cushy patronage arrangements within the Senate.

More than any other party, the Liberals have installed bagmen, former candidates and midlevel functionaries in the Senate. Among the current 32 (former) Liberal senators, there are

two former premiers, two former press aides to prime ministers, a former Alberta Liberal leader, several former MPs and a number of former candidates.

Trudeau says his decision shows that his party is serious about Senate reform.

He is proposing that all future senators be appointed by the prime minister in consultation with a prominent group of Canadians, and be non-partisan while doing Senate work.

He points out that this can be done without re-opening the

constitution, which is the perennial challenge when discussing Senate reform.

What Trudeau has done is take the conversation about the Senate to another level, and that is worthwhile.

Despite the potential problems posed by Senate reform, it is better to take a step towards Senate reform while waiting for a Supreme Court of Canada ruling on how the Senate can be changed, and Trudeau has done just that.

Lifestyle changes can reduce your risk of heart disease H

eart diseases and stroke take one life every seven minutes. Even more staggering is that 90 per cent of us have at least one risk factor, making it even more important to make decisions in our daily lives that will keep our heart healthy.

February is Heart Month, when the Heart and Stroke Foundation and more than 100,000 volunteers fundraise for live-saving research and heart health awareness across the

country. I would encourage you to contribute in any way you can, whether that means canvassing and volunteering for a couple hours, doSteve nating, or sharing inThomson formation about heart health with friends and family.

Some risk factors for heart disease and stroke aren’t within your control, like age or family history, but there are lifestyle changes that can reduce your risk. Regular exercise, working with your doc-

tor to control your blood pressure and weight, eating a healthy diet and reducing stress will all help to keep your heart healthy.

Quitting smoking will not only help improve your heart health, but also your overall health. Within a year of quitting, the risk of dying from smoking-related heart disease is cut in half. Within 10 years, the risk of dying from lung cancer is cut in half. Most smokers know these risks, but it can be very difficult to quit, and our government wants to help.

Any B.C. resident who has active Medical Services Plan coverage can enrol in our B.C. Smoking Ces-

sation Program, which covers 100 per cent of the cost of prescription smoking cessation drugs or nicotine replacement therapy products, like gum or patches, for up to 12 continuous weeks. For more information and details about this program, visit the Ministry of Health’s webpage at health. gov.bc.ca/pharmacare/stop-smoking, or phone 811.

My colleague, MLA Norm Letnick, and I participated in a great event in December with the Advanced Coronary Treatment Foundation to celebrate a program that has trained students from five Okanagan high schools in CPR and using a defibril-

lator. The skills and knowledge these students have gained could be the difference between life and death in a medical emergency.

Education is one of the greatest tools we have to improve heart health and save lives in our community, and this month is the time to take a look at the resources available to you. Talk to your doctor, visit the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s website at heartandstroke.com, and look for ways to improve your heart health through manageable changes to your daily habits.

▼ INTENDED FOR PARK

LEATHER HOUSE SHOES

Cedar Ave lakefront tussle continues To the editor: Our mayor [Kelowna mayor Walter Gray] has now added chain link fencing to his fascinations with re-bar and concrete.

This in his war to prevent Cedar Avenue Park becoming what it was designed to be.

This city’s charrette by its seven strict “parameters” hamstrings open

public opinion in a direction engineered by the city. There is, in fact, no need for any great consultation over this property as that was decided many years ago by a council with far more long-term vision than those who sit there today.

Those earlier councils are on record, when purchasing the properties over 20

years ago, that all of them were bought specifically for a future lakeside park.

At least they understood, even in 1987, with soaring land prices and population, the necessity of saving beach-front for the public.

Now Gray’s intent is somehow to make money out of all this by breaking the some 1,000 feet

into pieces. It would appear, even with our exploded population, that he believes we already have enough access to beaches.

Walter and his crew have, in fact, created a problem where there was none. These city maneouvers seem at the least unethical and, by some, illegal.

▼ ADDRESSING HISTORIC WRONG

Forums done for input on apology to Chinese To the editor: We have now completed our seven scheduled consultation forums and it was gratifying to see so many passionate people stepping up and making presentations about how we can best address historical wrongs by past B.C. governments against the Chinese community.

During the forums held in Victoria, Kamloops, Vancouver, Kelowna, Burnaby and Richmond speakers provided us with valuable input as we sought to identify the wording, delivery and legacy of the apology.

While views may differ about what a meaningful apology should entail, it is clear that there are many people with passionate views and each adds something valuable as we move forward. Having heard more than 100 submissions and stories throughout the consultation process, it is clear to me how important this apology process is, as is the need to get the apology right.

One thing that was crystal clear at the

forums was a desire by many that the apology signify closure, and that we continue moving forward as a welcoming and inclusive society.

I think it is fair to say that, while many people had heard about the federally-imposed head tax, many British Columbians were not aware of the historic wrongs that took place in B.C. between 1872 and 1948. That’s why it is so important that we shine a light on this dark part of British Columbia’s history, and acknowledge the past wrongs against the Chinese community.

I do believe there is more awareness now amongst British Columbians about the historic wrongs committed against the Chinese people by past governments. And I want to emphasize that from day one, we have asked all British Columbians to participate by attending the forums, or by submitting their views online or by correspondence. And many have. I was encouraged by the extensive media coverage and the conversation it started in the broader com-

Non-secular program To the editor: I was at the first SMART meeting in Kelowna last January and have attended ever since (SMART is an acronym for Self Management and Recovery Training).

SMART teaches that addiction lies within. The connection between our thoughts and feelings, create our behaviours.

The support group is international and has been around since 1994, and now celebrates one year in Kelowna.

SMART meetings are an excellent, anonym-

ous alternative to a higher power, 12-step based recovery approach. The meetings are serious but also fun. It is helpful to discuss our issues with others who understand and can offer feedback.

We learn about SMART tools, and coping skills which encourage lifestyle balance, leading to a healthy, addiction-free life. Based on feedback and participation people are obviously enjoying the meetings.

The local facilitator keeps meetings interesting and informative. He was hon-

oured recently by Center For Inquiry as volunteer of the year for his dedication to helping others who struggle with addiction.

Congratulations.

I encourage anyone who thinks they may have an addiction, to attend a meeting and check it out.

They will find themselves in a friendly and supportive environment, and may even make some friends.

Federal gov’t dishonours veterans by closing offices To the editor: As a boy, I met and heard battlefield stories directly from Smokey Smith, who fought in Italy during World War II with the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada.

Had he been alive these past few weeks, I have no doubt Smokey would have said a few choice words about plans

by Minister of Veterans Affairs Julian Fantino and Prime Minister Steven Harper to shut seven of nine specialized offices across Canada, including Kelowna, that help special

people—our veterans.

Actions speak louder than words. Fantino and Harper have deserted the troops, the veterans and the country. Most importantly, they have not earned the “Honourable” titles they have arrogantly put before their names.

This government owes our veterans the simple dignity of never having to beg for help.

New course RBC supports new advanced surgical OR breaks online learning barriers

Two Okanagan College professors have developed a groundbreaking new course in applied sustainability and protecting the local environment.

Business professor Arnica Rowan and political science professor Rosalind Warner, along with Okanagan College education technology specialist Ross McKerlich, created a course that differs from traditional online learning on several levels.

First off, it’s not for credit, just for fun. It’s also free and open to anyone regardless of whether they are an Okanagan College student. And, unlike similar open online courses, it’s locally focused.

“We wanted a deep learning experience that was centred on the Okanagan but open to anyone in the world who wanted to learn how to apply sustainability concepts in their everyday lives,” said Warner.

The online course runs over a six-week period starting on Feb 17. The material covers what’s important to people right now—such as food delivery systems and genetically modified organisms, how the environment impacts health and wellness, conservation and ways to live more sustainably, and local consequences of political policies—and offers something new for all level of learners from novices to experts.

Another innovative feature is that it uses game theory, which means students complete tasks to earn virtual badges.

At each bronze, silver and gold level they can earn three types of badges: Connection Facilitator, Resource Specialist, and Change Agent. The elusive Topic Master badge is awarded to learners who complete every challenge in each section.“The badges enable people to apply what they’ve learned to their daily lives and be rewarded for their efforts,” said Warner.

The course starts Feb. 17. To register, visit www. okanagan.bc.ca/opencourse. Registration is now open and students can register any time during the course’s six-week duration.

Wanting to demonstrate a continued commitment to local communities, RBC has donated $20,000 to support the Interior Heart & Surgical Centre (IHSC) at Kelowna General Hospital.

The donation will be directed to the hybrid operating room where state-of-the-art medical imaging devices will be utilized to perform minimally invasive surgery.

In a hybrid OR, the human eye is enhanced with the vision of CT scanners, MRI scanners and C-Arms.

The need to completely open the patient is avoided with the use of catheters or endoscopes inserted through only a few small incisions.

This specialized, fully integrated operating suite allows for innovation in surgical approaches that were once unimaginable.

Patients, in turn, benefit immensely from reduced hospital stays, reduced rehabilitation needs and quicker recovery times.

“At RBC we believe the health and wellness of local communities is of vital importance. We are long-time supporters of KGH Foundation and proud to play a role in making special-

“Every year, over 12,000 surgeries in 12 different specialties will change the lives of patients receiving care,” said Dr. Gary Goplen, KGH’s chief of surgery and cochair of the Be a Lifesaver Capital Campaign.

“The Hybrid OR with-

in the IHSC will be the most technologically advanced operating room in the Interior of British Columbia.”

To support patient care, the KGH Foundation has endeavoured on its largest fundraising initiative to date, the Be a

Lifesaver Capital Campaign. Its mission is to ensure the IHSC opens fully outfitted with the critical equipment it needs to change and save lives.

There will be home baking, Cup’Casions cupcakes and handmade crafts from the auxiliary craft ladies.

The auxiliary’s monthly general meeting will be held Monday, Feb. 17, in

the Murray Ramsden Boardroom (in the Centennial building). Social time is 6:30 to 7 p.m., followed by the meeting.

Two downtown businessmen are putting a new spin on Kelowna’s burgeoning vinyl romance.

Peter Jeffery, the owner of Milkcrate Records, and Bernie Wilson, the owner of Bernard Avenue restaurant Fernando’s, have been dedicating one night each week to simply sharing music.

Their tools, since the weekly event started in September, have been nothing more than a turntable and a selection of records from the collections of local music fans.

They’d sit around, eating some Mexican style nosh and playing their favourite tunes.

“We started with a small but fanatical following, but it’s getting more popular,” said Jeffery. Enough so, that they’re considering bringing a DJ around for the once a week event—but not the kind that scratches records, Jeffery stressed.

n 1943, the Allied forces in World War II created the Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives program in an effort to protect cultural S property from Nazi plundering.

Otherwise known as The Monuments Men, it was a group of military servicemen and civilians working together to safeguard historic and cultural monuments from the ravages of war.

George Clooney tasked himself with turning this incredible true story into a motion picture which blends the seriousness of war with some comedic elements. To accomplish this, he enlisted the likes of Matt Damon, Bill Murray, John Goodman and Cate Blanchett.

Known for dizzying music jams, poly-rhythms and revved up riffs, the Sultans of String sound can’t be pinned down -- it’s Sable Island meets the Silk Road, with detours through the Gypsy-Jazz coffeehouses of Eastern Europe, next an East Coast Kitchen Party, then over to the majestic Arctic and bustling markets of Lebanon.

Fiery violin dances with rumba-flamenca guitar while funky bass lays down unstoppable grooves. Throughout, acoustic mastery meets with a symphony of sound, deepened by world rhythms that inspire whole audiences to get up and dance.

A plot synopsis of the play: George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart’s Pulitzer Prize winning comedy, You Can’t Take It with You, premiered at the Booth Theater on December 14, 1936, and had a respectable run of 838 performances. It has since enjoyed several successful Broadway revivals and was the basis for the 1938 Academy Award winning film directed by Frank Capra. Life is pleasantly daft at the roomy uptown New York City home of Grandpa Vanderhof, a lifely little man of 75 who, for the last 35 years, has been determinedly “relaxing” and having fun--collecting snakes and attending commencement exercises.

the clock, but more evidence can be found in Jeffery’s bottom line.

Milkcrate Records opened two years ago in March, and in the time since, when many big-box style music shops atrophied, they’ve grown.

“Our sales were up 45 per cent at Christmas,” he said, noting that they don’t just sell old vinyl. They stock CDs, new records and an array of the preloved variety in just about every genre.

And their customers are as varied as the product carried.

“We get a lot of vinyl enthusiasts who never gave it up, and they’re just carrying on. But they’re just looking for first pressings,” he said. “But 70 per cent of our crowd is under 35 years old.”

Helping build that audience are indie bands.

Jeffrey’s children are musicians, and he used to take them to the Habitat, where they’d open for headliner bands.

“Inevitably, they would say: ‘Hey, we have a new record out, we’ll sign it for you’,” he said.

That was in the early 2000s, and the trend never really changed, creating a whole new generation of vinyl lovers.

“It’s pretty neat to see the enthusiasm of the fan,” he said.

To take some of your favourite vinyl for a spin, or to hear others share theirs, keep an eye out for events at Fernando’s.

There was a January hiatus for the event, but Jeffrey said it’s starting up again soon. kmichaels @kelownacapnews.com

Daily Five in BCSPCA National Cupcake Day Action at RLE

Many teachers at Rutland Elementary have embraced “The Daily Five” in their classrooms. Research shows that “the best way to become a better reader is to practice each day, with books you choose, on your just-right reading level. It soon becomes a habit.” (Boushey and Moser, 2006). “The Daily Five” is a structure that allows students to have voice and choice while enhancing their literacy skills. Students have five choices: Read to Self, Read to Someone, Work on Writing, Word Work and Listen to Reading. It is through this structure that the students at Rutland Elementary are developing the attitudes and skills necessary to become lifelong readers.

Busy home stretch for Rockets

▼ BIG WHITE

Moffat thrives on slopes Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Even as a preschooler, it was as if Ryan Moffat already knew exactly what sport he was cut out for.

“I don’t really remember it, but when I was four, my dad gave me a choice between skiing and playing hockey,” said Moffat, 15. “I chose skiing and I’ve always been happy with that decision. It’s what I like doing, more than anything.”

Eleven years later, the decision appears to have been prophetic as Moffat has developed into one of the top young skiers in all of B.C. A member of the Big White Racers, the Joe Rich product is fresh off one of the most impressive performances of his young, competitive career.

Moffat won both combined slalom events last weekend at the long-running TECK Enquist Slalom race at Penticton’s Apex Resort.

The two gold medals in the U16 division gave Moffat the overall title and the TECK Enquist Cup, the first Okanagan skier to capture the honour in the 78-year history of the event.

“No one outside the coast had ever won, so

DEREK TRUSSLER/CONTRIBUTED

KELOWNA’S Ryan Moffat raced to two gold medals and the overall title at the TECK Enquist slalom last weekend at Apex Resort.

Ryan has brought the Okanagan some big bragging rights,” said Big White Racers head coach Trevor Haaheim.

Regarded by his coaches as a fearless racer who holds nothing back, Moffat has had his share of crashes, missed gates and unfinished races over the years. That made last weekend’s win doubly satisfying for the Rutland Secondary student.

“It felt pretty good,” Moffat said of the two gold medals. “I hadn’t finished a combined slalom yet, so to put all those races together and get some consistency was great. I only finished two of my nine training runs before the race, so I’m beginning to use tactics better and ski smarter. It paid

TECK Enquist Slalom Results for all Big White Racers: • Ryan Moffat, two gold U16 boys • Zane Torres, silver and 4th, U16 boys • Trygg Nelson, 6th, U16 boys • Ella Alfonso, silver and 3rd, U16 girls • Olivia Baldassare, 6th, U16 girls • Brooke Lukinuk, 6th and 7th, U16 girls • Olivia Kirby, two gold, U18 girls • Scout McWilliams, silver, U18 girls off for me.”

His coach, Wade Christie, has watched with great satisfaction over the years as Moffat has grown and developed into an elite racer.

“First and foremost, he loves it, there’s nothing he’d rather be doing,” Christie said of Moffat.

“He really has a knack for focusing, and the more difficult the competition, it seems the higher he raises his level. It’s a rare thing to see, but Ryan is an athlete who races better than he trains. He has a lot of talent and skill, but he works really hard, too.”

Christie has watched

few young skiers who attack the hill as aggressively or with more fervour than Moffat. And while that style carries with it a level of risk, Christie said Moffat is learning how to harness and channel those abilities into positive results.

“Even though he’s made that way, he knows he can’t just charge into every situation,” Christie said. “He already knows how to go for it, you just can’t teach that raw lack of fear. “Now he’s maturing as an athlete, he’s picking the right times and places and he’s getting results.

He’s a special athlete and a humble kid…whatever he has to do to get better, he’ll do it.”

As far as the future is concerned, Moffat would

like to soon make his way onto the FIS circuit, the next step up the ladder in competitive skiing.

Further down the road, like any aspiring young skier, Moffat would like to get a taste of the Nor Am and World Cup circuits.

But for now, the talented and driven 15-year-old simply intends to enjoy everything skiing has to offer.

“I’d say skiing for me is about 60 per cent competitive and 40 per cent fun,” he said. “I love going fast, and I like the feeling of being free that skiing gives you. Even when I get a break from racing, I still push it as hard as I can…that’s just how I am.” whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

There aren’t many challenges that have gotten the better of the Kelowna Rockets this season.

The Western Hockey League’s top team will be put to the test again this weekend as the Rockets play three games in four days at Prospera Place— all against opponents in the upper reaches of the league standings.

The Western Conference-leading Edmonton Oil Kings will pay a visit Friday, the Victoria Royals make a stop here on Saturday, while the Seattle Thunderbirds will be in town for holiday showdown on Monday afternoon.

Heading into this week’s action, Edmonton was third in the overall standings, Victoria was fifth, and Seattle sixth.

All three teams have scored victories over Kelowna this season.

“Those are all solid teams, we’ve had some tough games against them,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “We have to make our building a hard place to play for any opponent that comes in here. We’ll need our best effort against all of those teams.”

The Rockets are in the midst of a busy stretch at home with six of seven games at Prospera Place.

Kelowna opened a fivegame home stand Saturday with a 7-3 win over Kamloops, then hosted Red Deer Wednesday. A score wasn’t available at press time.

Warriors down Salmon Arm, hit the road

The West Kelowna Warriors’ pursuit of their first BCHL Interior Division title continues this weekend with a pair of road games.

On Friday, the Warriors will visit the Merritt Centennials, followed by a stop in Prince George on Saturday.

The Warriors are coming off a 5-2 win over the Silverbacks Tuesday in Salmon Arm. Liam Blackburn, Matt Anholt, Taki Pantziris, Seb Lloyd and Ben Tegtmeyer scored for the Warriors who went 6-1 in the season series against Salmon Arm. Cody Porter made 24 saves in the West Kelowna net.

Tuesday’s win temporarily pulled the Warriors into a tie for top spot in the Interior Division with Penticton, but the

CHIEFS ON ROAD…

The Kelowna Chiefs are on the road for a pair of KIJHL games this weekend.

On Friday, the Chiefs will visit the 100 Mile House Wranglers for the first time, followed by a stop in Kamloops on Saturday night.

Kelowna is on a threegame winning streak after taking down the Princeton Posse 3-1 Tuesday at Rutland Arena. Adam Beatty led the attack with two goals and an assist.

The Chiefs, who lead the Okanagan Division by seven points over Summerland, will play their final home game on Feb. 21 against the Steam.

Telemark racers Telemark Nordic Racers were a notable force yet again at the second B.C. Cup of the season hosted by the Overlander Ski Club at Stake Lake south of Kamloops.

Almost every member of the team was able to compete in two days of great racing that saw familiar faces on the podium and others edging their way closer.

Highlights included Alexandra Myshak-Davis, Kurt Behnson, and Gareth Williams placing first on both days.

Nikhil Filatow, Garrett Siever, and Jasmine Filatow also had one firstplace finish each.

Bantams take Vernon, off to OMAHA final

The Kelowna bantam tier 1 Rockets are on their way to the Okanagan Mainline Amateur Hockey Association championship final.

The Rockets edged Vernon 3-2 on Saturday at Memorial Arena to take the best-of-three semifinal two games to none. m The series clincher came a day after Kelowna won the opener in the series, 6-2 on Friday night in rVernon.

“I’m pleased with the way the guys played in both games,” said Rock-ets coach Tom Watters. l“We capitalized on pretty much every chance we got in the game up in Vernon.

In Game 2, the score wasn’t really indicative of -the play. We had close to 50 shots on goals, so really carried the play.”

The Rockets will now face Kamloops in the best-of-three league finale, beginning the weekend of Feb. 14 and 15.

Kamloops went undefeated during the OMAHA regular season at 12-0-1, while Kelowna went 9-4.

Sweetheart Tourney faces off Friday One of the largest sporting events of its kind in Canada will take to the ice this weekend in Kelowna.

Ninety teams and close to 1,250 players from B.C. and Alberta will converge on the city for the 2014 edition of the Sweetheart Ringette Tournament.

Play begins Friday in 10 divisions—from U9 to U18 and over—at Rutland, Memorial, Winfield, CNC and Royal LePage arenas.

Regardless of the year and the economics of the

day, the tournament continues to fill up with close to 90 teams attending.

Tournament director Melissa Elsom says the ongoing success of the event is due to both the popularity of the Okanagan as a destination, as well as the concept behind the tournament.

“People really like coming to Kelowna because it’s a tourist destination and they can do and see other things while they’re here,” said Elsom.

M&H brings together auto sales and moving supplies STRAIGHT FROM DEHART

Maxine DeHart

M

&H Auto Sales & Moving Supply Centre, formerly at 1156 Richter St., has relocated to new premises at 2320 Highway 97 N (across from Jysk and next to One Board Shop).

Owned and operated by Randy May and Linda Hayes, M&H has a good supply of top quality pre-owned trucks, cars, SUVs and vans for sale.

Most of their vehicles are priced under $10,000.

On the moving supply centre side of the business, M&H is a UHaul and supply dealer/centre, providing a full line of equipment from car haulers to 26-foot movers, along with boxes, covers, bags, packing materials, rope and tie downs, tape and protective items and hitch and trailer accessories. Everything that you would need to move a long or short distance.

The Kelowna and District Share Society celebrates 36 years of helping the Okanagan in 2014. Elected board members are Bruce Hollett (chair); Shirley Hutt (vice-chair); Cathie Harnett (secretary/treasurer); and directors Christopher Butler, Carey Earl, Robert Garnett, Robert McLaughlin,

Stan Nisbet and Ken Parker. The primary mandate of SHARE is to help needy people in real and practical ways. Their large thrift store at 581 Gaston Ave. continues to provide to those who temporarily find themselves in difficult circumstances.

Last year, under the direction of managers Terry Anderson and Jacob Kasum, the thrift store staff and volunteers provided over 800 referred residents with a much needed “help up, not a hand out” in the form of household goods. Thousands of useful items pass through their doors each year. Stock is running low and they are eager to fill the shelves once again, asking for support from the community who may have saleable items that you no longer need. Donations can be dropped off at the depot, including furniture, except no major kitchen appliances. Truck pick-up can be arranged by calling 250-763-8117.

Congratulations to lawyer Garry Benson, with Benson Law LLP, and Nikki Calloway, with Quails’ Gate winery, on their recent engagement in Honduras.

Financial assistance options for aiding retirement income

C

anadians are getting older—it’s estimated that the average Canadian will live to age 87.

As a retirement a rule of thumb, estimate that you will live 20 to 25 years after age 65.

So in planning your fiscal retirement, develop an expense budget to see how much income you will need to cover your expenses during that perDiod. Keep in mind that you may be more active in early retirement and have more expenses than you might later on.

If you have pending health issues, the estimate for home health care is between $800 to $1,000 a week whether you remain in your own home or move into a care home.

The good news is that many of the care homes are subsidized.

Another good source of information are relatives and friends who are currently or have been retired for some time. Ask them about some of the challenges and expenses they have had to face in their retirement years.

Once you have determined how much income for your retirement, you need to look at sources of funds available to achieve your goal.

The typical retirement income sources are Can-

BEHIND THE COUNTER

Gabriele Banka ada’s Public Pension system, company pension plans, personal RRSPs, other savings, various provincial benefit programs, part-time or temporary work, or renting our real estate property.

There is also the Old Age Security that has a Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) component for low income seniors. The OAS and GIS are adjusted every July after the filing of your tax return. In order to receive the full benefit of the OAS, you will need to have lived in Canada for at least 40 years.

The OAS you will receive if you have net income less than $70,954, is a maximum of $6,553.

If your net income is greater than $70,954 and up to $114,640, you will receive a prorated amount. And it will be zero if your net income is over $114,640.

Some ideas for the provincial benefit program in B.C. are premium assistance with the B.C. Medical Plan, hardship

assistance, international benefit programs for those who have lived or worked in another country, sales tax credit for low to moderate income residents, a senior’s supplement, and annual public transit passes.

There are also some potential tax credits when you file your federal income tax return. If you are 65 years and older and your net income is less than $34,562, you would qualify for the age amount credit of $6,854.

If your income is between $34,563 and $80,256, you would qualify for a prorated credit.

And again, if your income is over $80,256, the credit would be zero.

If you have qualifying pension income, you qualify for the pension income credit of $2,000.

The medical expenses tax credit is available as long as you have qualifying medical expenses that total more than three per cent of your taxable income on line 236 of your return.

Under the medical expense umbrella is the disability tax credit. This requires that your doctor fill out form T2201 stating that there is a disability.

This tax credit is $7,697 federally and $7,394 for the province.

There are also caregiver

tax credits available for those who are taking care of disabled family members in the home. If you live in a care home, the medical care that you receive is deductible, but

the accommodation costs are not.

In addition, you could decide to split your CPP at source with your spouse. Pension splitting is also available when you

file your tax return based on eligible pension income including annuity payments from a pension fund or plan, RRIF payments and RRSP annuity

payments.

Rare blood makes finding organ harder Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

A social media campaign to find a kidney donor is offering a West Kelowna woman new hope for a healthy future and an unexpected surge of support.

Diabetes landed Leona Godin, 42, on dialysis for the better part of eight years, and the organ donation list for the last six of those years.

“It’s been hard to find a kidney, due to high antibodies, and a rarer blood type,” she said, noting that

her blood type is B-positive, which only four in 100 people have.

Frustrated, her partner Rick Moodie took matters into his own hands, and tapped into their online community for a solution.

“He wakes up first thing in the morning and goes on Facebook and then when he comes back from work, he’s on there until 11 p.m.,” Godin said.

“He’s just an amazing person.”

As he scrolls through the page they’ve named Leona Kidney, he finds everything from well wish-

es to people who have a will to help.

“The response has been amazing,” she said. “I didn’t expect it. It’s almost overwhelming right now.”

At least two people who

came to know of Godin’s situation are embarking on the lengthy process to see if they’ll be a compatible donor, while many others are just offering stories that make the load she’s carrying easier to bear.

“You hear their stories, and they’re saying they’ve done the same thing, and it makes you think, if (finding a donor online) happened for them, maybe it can happen for you, too,” she said.

A new kidney would change everything for Godin.

A mother of three, and grandmother to two, Go-

din has been very limited in what she’s been able to do in recent years.

She walks and exercises every day, to try and stay as healthy as she can for transplant, but she also has to fit dialysis into that schedule every second day and that limits her movements.

“If you want to go anywhere, you have to plan a couple months at a time,” she explained.

Not all dialysis clinics will take out-of-area clients, and it takes a lot of leg

Kids watch–and then mimic–your every move

M

y wife and I have three absolutely wonderful children: Big sister Cassidy is 12, middle sister Morgan is 9 and “the boy,” Caden, is 7.

As wonderful as they are, they’re not always perfect little angels. We have watched with disappointment how certain devilish behaviours are being passed down from older to younger child.

Big sister Cassidy, for example, has from time to time shown unpleasant intolerance of her little sister, Morgan. Instead of learning from how awful Cassidy has made her feel, Morgan has started to mirror some of those same unpleasant intolerance behaviours with her little brother.

Of course, it all probably originated with how their mom and dad have

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

DO YOU MODEL UNCOMPROMISING ATTENTION TO THE IMPORTANT TASK AT HAND OR DO YOU TEACH YOUR “STUDENTS” THAT IT IS OK TO GIVE IN TO SUCH DISTRACTIONS AS HAVING CELL PHONE CONVERSATIONS, EATING AND DOING MAKE-UP?

Paul Hergott behaved towards each other, more specifically dad toward mom.

I have been very slow to learn about how my own intolerances and tone can impact on those around me. I shudder to think about how many of my less-than-optimal behaviours and mannerisms are being picked up by my children!

I am thankful to retired police officer, Bob Sherman, for this week’s column topic.

He e-mailed me with the suggestion that I ask my readers: “At what age do

youth generally begin to learn to drive?”

Bob’s career in policing has given him a compelling perspective on driver safety. He noted in his e-mail: “In 31 years of policing, I’ve been to a lot of crashes, many of them fatals. People don’t realize that their car is a little tin can, easily made into a wad of scrap.”

How would you respond to Bob’s question?

Does your mind immediately turn (like mine did)

to age 16 when our youth may begin British Columbia’s graduated licensing program?

Bob suggests a much different answer; one that shows an important insight into our learned behaviours, recognizing the way they are passed down like the unpleasant intolerance passed down from me through my children.

British Columbia’s graduated licensing program is outlined on

ICBC’s web site, noting: “By going through graduated licensing (GLP), you’ll learn the skills and attitudes that will help you become a safe and confident driver.”

Bob suggests that a much more impactful classroom of driver learning is in our own vehicles and that our “student” children start learning not at age 16 but more in the range of age 4 or 5.

Bob says: “Children learn by observing. Their minds are like sponges.

We can start making better drivers by being great examples.”

What lessons do you teach your children in your rolling classroom?

Do you model patience or impatience with other drivers? Do you teach

One last word for Bob, who endured a career of parents instilling in their children a fear of police officers. Rather than teach our children that police officers are “out to get us,” how about share the reality that they are out to help us and use this as an example of that.

Q A

When we get our new kitchen we are putting in new flooring, do we put it in before the kitchen and do we go under the cabinets with it?

Another great question! If you are going under the cabinets then it must be before. If not, it should be after the kitchen is installed, a good installer will know to wait to put the kick plates on until the flooring is complete. Our installers will return and install the kick after the flooring has been installed, and the trick is to pull the kick a bit forward so it sits “on top” of the flooring, and the flooring should go right up tight against the cabinet base.

If you want to go completely under the cabinets it is entirely personal preference and the only time we would advise not to is if the flooring material was not consistently level, i.e. cobblestone/tumbled marble, or hand scraped hardwood etc.. On a new build, or a complete renovation, we like to go completely over the space with new flooring especially if you are using good quality flooring and plan to stay in the home for a long period of time, that way ten or fifteen years down the road, you could change up the layout of the kitchen and not worry about matching the floor although you may have to refinish a wood floor.

How do I know if I need to clip my dogs nails?

There is a nerve inside the nail called the Quick and the goal is to cut the nail as close to that as possible. Our goal is to make sure the nail is off the ground the best we can without cutting the nerve. Very active dogs that are running or walking a lot on pavement and abrasive surfaces may not need to get done as often.

The recommended time is 6-8 weeks for nails which usually will coincide with the grooming appointment.

Not cutting the nails enough and having them too long can cause a lot of pressure on the dogs foot. They can grow back into the foot or twist and break causing some more serious problems. As dogs age, the quick grows as well so the nails will hit the ground but unless you want the vet to cut them shorter to cauterize them, there is nothing a groomer can do. Work with your groomer to find a time frame that works for you.

How do I properly measure my blood pressure with my blood pressure monitor at home?

Here are some pointers from Hypertension Canada on how to get an accurate blood pressure reading with your home blood pressure machine.

• Rest quietly for 5 minutes beforehand • Sit with your feet flat on the floor, back and arm supported, and arm at heart level • Apply cuff on a bare arm • Measure BP twice in the morning and twice in the evening for 7 days before Dr. appointment (or after a change in medication) • Keep BP readings in a log • Do Not smoke or drink caffeine 30 minutes beforehand • Do not speak during monitoring

Checking your blood pressure regularly and keeping a record of it will be very helpful for your health professional. It will tell them whether or not you need to be on medication or if you are on medication, it will show if our blood pressure is in control.

Q A

I keep my teeth really clean, so why should I get them cleaned more than once per year?

A dental hygienist or dentist will often recommend people get their teeth cleaned more than once per year. You should have a periodontal assessment at least once per year. This means that the gums and bone supporting your teeth are assessed for presence of disease. Periodontal disease can be an acute or chronic infection causing bleeding gums, receding gums, bone loss, loose teeth, abscesses, bad breath and more. If managed properly, through regular visits with the hygienist and dentist, these problems can be prevented or kept under control. Based on what level of periodontal disease is present, a dentist or hygienist will recommend dental cleanings usually anywhere from 1-4 times per year, even if your insurance doesn’t cover it all.

Periodontal disease isn’t always obvious to you as a patient but if it was obvious like an open wound on your arm, for example, you wouldn’t just leave that untreated would you? Periodontal disease can have serious health implications, such as affecting other organs of the body or reducing the overall lifespan. So when a hygienist or dentist recommends more regular cleanings or additional treatments like medications, laser therapy, surgery, or referral to a specialist, it is for the betterment of your overall health. But remember, they are not miracle workers, - you must do your part at home with good oral hygiene. For more info contact us or see our website and /or facebook page.
